Chat
- David Vrtin: Non-technical users are getting confused, if they need to use too many diferent webconferencing solutions.
- David Vrtin: We need to have one or mazbe two webconferencing solution and choosen solution should be supported for many years from NRENs. It is not good to have every year or two some completly different solutions.
- David Vrtin: Webconf solutions is needed now, not in year or two. Do we really have time and resources to develop our own ''perfect'' solutions?
- markus schneider, swe: It could be helpful to have a commonly perceived timeline as to when we expect different scenarios/solutions to become realisable. There are always switch costs but they will be easier to handle them if we can coordinate our efforts and act as a collective business intelligence unit with focus on webconferencing issues.
- markus schneider, swe: Agree also with David - connect is one solution now
- markus schneider, swe: tell the swedish guy to speak up, we cannot hear him ;-)
- markus schneider, swe: agree!
- David Vrtin: about last goal from slide: we need more and much better cooperation with PR departments/groups to work on webconferencing promotion and show users with Skype that there is also something else, that is much more appropriate for them...
- markus schneider, swe: i don't think we've met before David, but I think we should get in contact ;-)
